What are the most overused baby names you know at the moment?

All the girls' names that have already been mentioned but particularly Something-May/Mae, Ella, Evie, Lily, Amelia, etc. I think Harper and Ava will really mark girls out as being born at a particular time.

Boys: Arlo, Jacob, Archie, Charlie. We have a Reggie and a Frank at DS's school - think those are also very 'faddy'.

I already think of certain names as being typical names of today's teenagers which marks them out as early 2000s fads:

Chloe
Molly
Maddie
Megan
Joshua
Connor
Ryan
etc.

Just scanning for my kids names 😁

Round here there's a lot of Oliver's and lots of girls names like Evie, Eva, Ava etc. I loved Evelyn but it was of the same branch so i gave it a miss.

I have a Logan,he's 8.My other son who is 7 has 2 Logans in his class.He is Zak, theres also another Zac in his class.
Theres a few more Logans scattered around where we live.

The only advice i would give is just call the child a name you love.

Oscar
Aurora
Jago (three at nursery!)

You are so right with the 'rose' part.... Shame as was my maiden name and would have wanted to incorporate it.... I had boys tho! The most popular i have heard is Noah or Jacob for boys and Millie and Emily for girls.

Amelia, Charlotte, Elsie, Lily, Isabella, Olivia, Eva, Sophie,

Harry, jack, Charlie, Joshua, Noah, Toby,

Agree with all these! I feel like I do hear the same names all the time. It doesn't stop me liking them though!

Dd1 is called Cerys which I thought was unusual, but there is another in her y1 class!

Evie
Eva
Ava
Lily-mae
Ella-may
Lily-rose
Marley
Lucas
Charlie
Alfie
Archie
Mason

If you're looking for a classic non dated name for a boy. That suits right through life. You can't go wrong with James. Yes its very popular. However it's not faddy.
Other classic boys names.
Alexander
Tom
Oliver.

Girls.
Sophie
Emily
Jessica
Hannah
Lucy
Olivia
Elizabeth

Surprised by the name Arlo being so popular. My son goes to school with one and I thought it was really unusual!

Aria ... we get it you've seen Game of Thrones too 🙄

When I named my son his name wasn't very popular, now there's at least 1 or 2 others in his class with the same name. This is the same for my daughter. Loved it every since I was little, now everyone's calling their child the same.

Round here the most popular names are Oliver, Alfie, Logan, Lilly, Grace.

Henry (so boring)
Oliver
Noah

Evie, Evie-may, Evie Grace
Eva/Ava
Sophia
Lily

Too many of ellie ella eve evie emily emilia
Jack tom Daniel oliver - loads of them in my kids schools

My first born's name was and still is very popular. I tried hard with no2 to get something more unique but not too way out.

Isla. It's everywhere here where I live.

I don’t know any Henry’s! It’s a great name

3 charlie's in my sons class and 2 freds. Maisie, Noah, Amelia, Evie, tom, matilda seem popular too...

My 'Godson' now 16 is called Rowan and at the time and just after every other kid I met was called Rowan!

My dd2 starts school in September, she had a transition day today and in a class of 15 there's 3 Elsa's and 2 max's (I know 7-8 other max's and 2 other Elsa's and a pregnant woman and I did roll my eyes when she said elsa was her baby's name)

Any thing xxx-mae or xxx-leigh does my nut, just so over used around here :(

We agreed not to have a 'Top 10' name, as I didn't want my child to be like one of the 8 Katys in my year at secondary school!

A boy name we had early on, but girl names were tougher. Our policy lead to conversations that went:
DH: Olivia?
Me: Number 3.

DDs middle name is one of the popular name of her cohort, but only because it was the name of DH's grandma who died about a week before I found out I was pregnant with DD so I really thought that it should be the middle name if it was a girl.

Kids are at a Jewish school, so common names maybe slightly different from standard.

Lots of Ariellas (or variations like Ayelah)
Fair amount of Phoebes, Saskia and Zara

Boys it's:
Joe
Reuben
Rafi
Tom
Charlie

In Lanarkshire I've seen a few Jacobs and Josephs but no real glut of any one kind of name at the baby groups I take DS to.
I'm interested to hear Arlo is common. I've never met one but a few people have mistaken DS' unique name for it and I must admit to being a little peeved. For background, his name is Arlen. The only one born in Scotland in 2017 and named for a character in a fantasy novel that I'm sure is fairly cultish.

you can tell when the kids were born.

Mia, Ava, Sophie, Paige, Olivia, Amelia

Finlay, Alfie, Harry, Jack

When considering names for DD, I really liked Ava but glad I chose against it as every other girl is called that and I had a lot of people in my class with similar names.

But there's also a danger of having a name that's too unusual or 'wrong' for that generation, or location.

We're in the west of Scotland, quite a deprived area. Names are either in the top ten or those who dare to be different choose awful hyphenated names like tallulah-mae. Any parent who uses a name like Florence, Ivy or Geoffrey for examples is mocked by other parents.

How do you pronounce Nevaeh

Well I’ve never met one, but I think it’s nev-AYER (like layer, without the L).

Most baby boys I know in the last 4 years have been called Jack.

Girls names I have seen a lot are:

Willow
Lola
Isabelle

My daughter's name has been mentioned Here, I would much rather have a 'common' name than trying to be different.

How do you pronounce Nevaeh ?
